Building disability confidence
from the inside out

We needed to bring people together to ask some big questions. Did our strategy have focus? Were we executing it adequately? Were we rewarding our volunteers correctly? Did our executive sponsor have our backs? Ultimately, how would we know we were doing well as a network?

I once heard someone say he was the first disabled person he had ever met. That sums up the isolating experience of having a disability. The workshop I went on unlocked the fear of being who I am - of sharing my experiences - of being my brilliant self at work.

Spending time in the company of the PurpleSpace community makes me realise how lucky I am to have the opportunity to lead a disability network - the Networkology foundation know-how is beyond brilliant.
